At Veolia North America, we take great pride in our ability to provide you with a reliable supply of drinking water that meets or surpasses the highest state and federal standards. Our teams work around the clock, rigorously testing and monitoring the entire distribution system so you never have to think twice when you pour yourself a glass of water.
In this section, we invite you to learn more about your water supply—including where it comes from and how it’s treated. We also provide regular updates on water quality, local projects, outages, and alerts, so you always have up-to-date information on your water.
70% of your water supply comes from underground wells located throughout the county, while the remaining 30% is surface water drawn from the Lake DeForest and Letchworth reservoirs. Before it reaches the tap, the water is treated to meet safe drinking water standards.
We treat both groundwater and surface water to remove impurities and our lab regularly tests the quality of water before, during, and after the treatment process. The specific treatment process differs depending upon whether the water is from our wells, Lake DeForest Water Treatment Plant or Letchworth Water Treatment Plant.
